The Origins of The W.L.F Recently, Bred Crumbs and I returned to work and discovered that our whiteboards hadn't yet been moved to our new cubicles. We write stuff on these boards. Workstuff. We think it makes us productive. We like being productive. We knew the boards were sitting in a large pile in a nearby building, but we were told we couldn't enter the building for fear we would take other things that would make us productive. Like a power strip. Or an ethernet cable. Or our computers.

Reluctantly, we were moved to create the Whiteboard Liberation Front. Our motto? "First the whiteboards, THEN, our co-workers trust and proper sense of perspective!"

Our commando raid was partially successful. I at least got one of my whiteboards...and it still had important work information on it. Phew.

For a second we had almost succumbed to the dark thrall of goofing-off and excuse-making. Some of the more paranoid of us suspect it to be our co-workers' (or The Company's) fervent wish...to drive us to incompetence...but how could that be?

I won't believe it...but I will keep my WLF tattoo. Just in case.
